[sblock] Do they look like they can separate from the wall? [/sblock]

Upon seeing the dog get turned into minced meat, Galandra cringes and turns to her leopard "Mika, stay here."

The cat growls behind her, still trying in a futile way to keep her paws dry.

"Rocks... I'm not sure my arrows will do much. But I guess we could deal with one of them at a time from here."

"II am guessing a long sword or rapier are useless too, but, I will try a long sword first. Sticking one with my rapier might just make him laugh.".

exchange rapier for longsword, ready action to attack single hand style any opponent that comes through the doorway.

"Tane, give Taiwha te strength to hurt te earth giants" Maui prays, laying a hand on his cheetah companion, whose muscles ripple and swell beneath his fur. The hand restrains the large cat who does not advance beyond the choke point.

Since it is rock and not fire, and Galandra wants to use the choke point, Tasanto tries to draw them in. With a flick of his wrist, a glass bottle of liquid fire drops into his hand. Throwing it at the one to the left, it breaks and fire erupts on that one. Gripping his hammer, he prepares for their approach.

[sblock] guys, I'll have limited/not-at-all internet access until Wednesday. Planning ahead in case I can't make it in time for the next round... Galandra will use rapid shot if she has a clear shot at the creature or change places with Lem if he gets hit again and use her Falchion instead. Sorry for the inconveniece!! [/sblock]

Deuce Traveler · Nov 18, 2013

"Jumping jambalaya! What the hell are those things? You wizard types think you might be able to soften those gents up some? Maybe we'll get lucky and they won't be able to tag us from out there. They look to big to get on through the narrow corridor." Lem watches the two stone creatures warily as they approach.

Actions
[sblock]
I really doubt we'll be able to pick them off indefinitely. Just in case, Lem is spending this round in all defense mode. Total defense gives Lem a +4 to AC this round, or AC 27.

The force missile and the alchemical flame both hit the smoother of the two creatures, and with a grumble that sounds like rocks moving, both creatures move forward. The front line group can see that the creatures are about the same size as the water monster you just vanquished, so it is reasonable that they will be just about the same in difficulty.

Moving into the wall in front of everyone, the monster's eyes appear as part of the wall, and immediately 2 giant fists swing to attack Tasanto, who manages to put his guard up in time to block one of them. The rough creature's spikes clang against the smoother one's hand, unable to get close enough to damage anyone. Thankful, the smooth creature still burns due to the exposed section that exists.

With the creature's almost entirely in the wall, only a small portion of them exist outside of any protection the walls have given them.

[sblock=GM]
Due to the creature's awesome ability #1, the 2 monsters are using the stone wall in front of you to their advantage, giving them cover (+4 AC), except for the exposed sections. So much for a murder hole...

SK: I don't think they provoke moving into the wall, due to cover rules, so unfortunately no AoO from Tasanto.

"These rocks burn. Time to try a new spell" Menik says, and casts it. A point of fire streaks from his hand and bursts into a huge fireball in the chamber beyond. The blast reaches the area where the rock creatures are, though they are partially protected by the walls.

The explosion catches the exposed part of the creature in a full on inferno of flames. It seems the creatures are unable to dodge the fierce flames, and the part of the rock that is exposed is blacked as soot covers the creatures. Large clumps of rock fall to the ground in the exposed area from both creatures.
